"A woman was charged with involuntary manslaughter for allegedly pushing an 83-year-old woman down, resulting in her death, Suffolk police said Tuesday. Velma D. Brown, 58, was in line for entry to a Senior Luau at the National Guard Armory on Aug. 12, 2009, when she suspected that Elizabeth Newby, 83, and an 89-year-old woman were trying to cut her in line, police said."

I'm curious as to what others think about this; whether she should be charged with manslaughter or not. What she did was terrible, and she should have known better at her age, but do you think the charges are appropriate?
I have to say that after seeing a video of her last night (still looking online for it) that she didn't seem to show much remorse. She said she's on medication for her anger issues. I wonder is she started taking those before or after her pushing the other lady. If it was before, then obviously they weren't working.
Okay, found the video:
